As you may have heard I was recently granted a special position at the University of Tennessee in the Department of Religious Studies as part of Villanoce College "Shared-Experiences" program. Seeing as I have been promised a grant from the federal government to start a community action program as part of the "Fresh-Air" inititative, I was hoping to see if we could reformulate a more progressive church community.

As such, I would like to set aside a portion of the grant to pay for a new Spiritual Director. If you are interested or know someone who is interested, please don't hesitate to call me.

Here are a list of some of the requirements:

1. Must be able to secure funding from Government Organizations such as HUD, NEA, DOE

2. Must be able and willing to dialog with other community activists and leaders

3. Must be able to work with and earn respect of other community activists and leaders

4. Must be able to present evidence of experience administering a preferential option for the poor and disenfranchised in the community

Spirit of Vatican II

Spirit of Vatican II is Knoxville's hippest and most unreal faith community, considering that it does not actually exist. If it did exist, it would be located on a beautiful wooded campus in North Knoxville. SOV2 features contemporary worship and a diverse and friendly and ecologically low footprinted community. Until we get a link to MapQuest, here's our address:

Mission Statement

As a flowering faith community, guided by the progressive spirit of the Second Vatican Council, we reach out to the diverse community from which we come. Respecting the dynamic tradition of the past we embrace change, foster and encourage each other to look beyond self and work for social justice and environmental stewardship, in solidarity with the marginalized in our society. Taking feminism as a framework for a equitable society and with conscience as our creed we confidently step out into the dawn of the third millenium.
